Tony is facing execution tomorrow in TN, with the state so far refusing to test critical evidence that could prove his innocence. There is no time to waste to save Tony’s life. Gov. Lee must heed the calls of Tennessee residents & our broad coalition demanding his planned execution be halted.
Today, I’m reintroducing my Federal Death Penalty Prohibition Act with @durbin.senate.gov to get the federal government out of the business of executing its own citizens & save the lives of the people failed by our criminal legal system—like Tony Carruthers.
A graphic that reads:

Governor Lee, test the evidence. Stop Tony's execution.
Black folks are bearing the burden of Trump's affordability crisis & reckless economic policy. Folks like Theresa, whose job in a MA-07 hospital was eliminated by Trump's funding cuts. We must fight to make the economy work for Black communities—and in doing so, for everyone.
Mr. Chairman, thank you. Thank you for your service to our Commonwealth. Thank you for your relentless advocacy for consumers. Thank you for showing up as your full self—and creating permission for others to do the same. May you rest in peace and power.

Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in American history. He has used his office to enrich himself, his family, and his billionaire friends. Meanwhile, families are forced to choose between paying for groceries, medicine, gas, and other basic essentials. It's shameful.
I’m devastated to hear about the loss of Andrew Joseph Jr. As a beloved organizer, movement builder, & family man, I was proud to partner with him on legislation to end qualified immunity & honor his son. I pray for his wife Deanna, his daughter Deja, & the entire BLM Grassroots family.

The burden that survivors of Epstein's abuse carry isn't just emotional—it's also economic. Their bodies & dreams were violated, and so were their rights under the Crime Victims' Rights Act. While we push for accountability, restorative justice for survivors must be a priority.
No one should fear for their safety in a faith house or anywhere in America. I condemn this violent attack on the Islamic Center of San Diego and pray for the victims and everyone impacted. Islamophobia and hate in all its forms have no place in our society, and we must root it out once & for all.
Three people were killed in a shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego, authorities said. Two apparent suspects were also found dead in a car near the scene, and police said they are considering the attack a hate crime at this time. https://cnn.it/4nBNtlC
Today, Trump created an “Anti-Weaponization” fund to pay white supremacists who attacked our democracy on Jan. 6th. This corruption is a slap in the face to Black people who've been fighting for reparations after centuries of enslavement, segregation, & ongoing discrimination by the government.
DOJ announces creation of a $1.776 billion fund to compensate Trump's allies who claim they were unfairly targeted by Biden administration https://cnn.it/4tFCkla
The fight over voting rights is about fair representation. When we don't have Black representation in government, there are issues that won't get called to the table. Like the Black maternal morbidity crisis, the racial wealth gap, the CROWN Act, and more.
Happy Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! I joined @capac.house.gov & @housedemocrats.bsky.social to celebrate the contributions, cultures, and rich histories of the #AANHPI community that shape the #MA7 & our country for the better.

Some Republicans would rather Black Americans pick cotton than pick their Congressperson. They want politicians to decide who their voters are, instead of the voters determining who their Representatives are. We must use every tool available to defend the sacred right to vote.
From Montgomery to Massachusetts, our destinies are tied. That's why I'm in Alabama today organizing and mobilizing to defend our right to vote. The blueprint for our survival has already been written, and we just have to follow it.
DACA recipients are facing massive delays in renewals, causing them to lose their legal status, leave the workforce, and face deportation. This is unconscionable. We must protect DACA and provide a pathway to citizenship.
Six DACA recipients tell NBC News that while the renewal process was previously painless for them, this year they have seen long delays. Those who applied months ago said they are still waiting — and losing their status in the meantime.
Everyone should have equitable access to healthcare. And disability justice & reproductive justice are connected. With a nationwide assault on reproductive healthcare deeply impacting our siblings with disabilities, our bill is timely, urgent, & responsive.
A graphic that reads:

Reproductive Health Care Accessibility Act

Our bill helps women with disabilities—who face discrimination and extra barriers when seeking care—get better access to the timely, informed, and culturally competent reproductive health care they deserve.
By gutting the Voting Rights Act, SCOTUS has paved the way for Republicans to eliminate Black leadership & representation in Congress. Instead of electing their own leaders, voters will now have their reps imposed on them. We must fight back & defend the right to vote.
The Congressional Black Caucus reached a record 58 House members this Congress. Now, thanks to a Supreme Court redistricting ruling that’s expected to dramatically diminish Black representation on Capitol Hill, the CBC is fighting a five-alarm fire that could devastate its membership.
